This four-day climbing and trail running festival is not about competition; it focuses on camaraderie and celebrating these popular outdoor pursuits in an outdoor area designed for them. The festival is September 17–20 inside Castle Rocks State Park near Almo, Idaho (next to City of Rocks). A $50 All-Inclusive Festival Ticket gets you into all attractions, excluding the trail races, and includes tent camping at the festival’s “Tent City” inside Castle Rocks. Sponsored meals, activities, contests, presentations, clinics, group runs and bike rides are also included in ticket price. Only 350 tickets are available so purchase in advance. idahomountainfest.com
